There was a bit of a controversy recently when Howie Carr (syndicated
in New England) was doing his weekly on-air chat with Mike's son Chris,
and Chris started disparaging his father: "The man has lost it," etc.
He later apologized but not before NewsMax picked it up...

Wallace turns 88 in May according to birthdate info provided by Intenet Movie
Database.
